Wonder what it all means? Especially seeing as they have never fired shots in a war. I don't think they fully understand such things, they must see photos of foreign military and think Oh that looks impressive, we'll make some just like it. A few weeks ago on Bangkok BTS I saw a Thai woman wearing some khaki gov' uniform...not military, perhaps post office or water supply, and among all the insignia she had paratrooper wings. I felt like asking her...are you jump qualified? Of course she isn't and therefore she has no right to wear wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the real world, I just had dinner with a group of Thais and they dissed their government pretty much throughout our meal. I didn't even get a comment in. Does that make them anti-Thai, too, or are they maybe just against the government? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 In Hua Hin last night the police called my wife and told us to close the bar immediately. She drove around, and Soi 80, and Bintabaht were closed. This was at 7:30 p.m. We closed, and then noticed bars in Soi 94 closing one by one. When she asked the police they said they were expecting something. However, the stupid thing is that the restaurants, and food courts were all open.......figure that one out.......Bummer really as Friday is our busiest night...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These wings are given to survivors of the famed "bucking balconies" of high-rises in the Kingdom's most famous cities, who are held in high esteem. Only those bucked from higher than five floors, who are ambulatory without prosthetics, can wear them. ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBOP Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 As I was at 2 of these places 2 days and 1 day before the explosions I checked my dash cam to see if it could spot anything. Unfortunately my dash cam stopped recording 2 minutes into my trip to CW and nothing Thursday. But I'm sure with almost every car and truck having dash cams now days why don't they ask the public? Got a new dash cam yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
